The only question left is whether Jordan Brown, the McDonald's All-American five-star recruit Nevada has been chasing for the last three years, will pick the Wolf Pack.

Brown will announce his college destination on Friday, the RGJ confirmed. The news was first reported by Andrew Slater of The Athletic. Brown is believed to be picking among a final three of Nevada, Cal and Arizona. Brown has taken an official visit to Cal and three unofficial visits to Nevada, including one last weekend. He has not visited Arizona.

If Brown, a 6-foot-10, 205-pound forward, picks Nevada, he would be the highest-rated player to sign with the Wolf Pack in any sport. Rivals ranks Brown as the 11th-best recruit in the 2018 class. 247Sports lists him 17th. ESPN pegs him 31st.

Nevada was the first school to offer Brown a scholarship, doing so in 2015 during his sophomore season at Woodcreek High in Roseville, Calif. Prior to his senior season, Brown transferred from to Prolific Prep, a national program in Napa that offered stiffer competition. Brown averaged 21.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.8 blocks per game last season.

At the McDonald's All-American game, Brown tallied 26 points and eight rebounds in a win. He made 13-of-19 shots. Those 26 points were the third most by a California player in the history of the game. Only future NBA star Paul Pierce (28 in 1995), from Inglewood, and Crenshaw's John Williams (27 in 1984) scored more. The only previous McDonald's All-American to sign with Nevada was local product Luke Babbitt, from Reno's Galena High.

Even without Brown, the Wolf Pack is projected as a top-10 team in the nation in early preseason polls if Caleb and Cody Martin as well as Jordan Caroline return to school after testing the NBA draft waters. If they do return and Brown commits to Nevada, the Wolf Pack could be a potential top-five team.

The Wolf Pack is currently at 14 scholarship players, one above the NCAA maximum, if the Martins and Caroline return but would make additional roster to moves to accommodate Brown, who is a potential one-and-done player.

While Nevada is considered by many to be the favorite to land Brown, a long and skilled player, he has largely played his recruitment close to the vest, leaving open the possibility he could land at any of his three finalists. Brown also took official visits to UCLA, St. John's and Louisiana Lafayette, his father's alma mater, but each of those schools fell out of the recruitment race months ago.
